Oh my Linda, I'm so sorry you're going through round two. I have a close friend who is finally in remission with colon cancer that had spread a little to the liver. Just hold on...and hang in there...I understand some of what you're going through. When I was going through it, I felt the need to just laugh...so I watched comedies a lot, to keep from getting bluesy. In my case, the side effects of the treatments caused depression...and I didn't need any help with that, I could conjure that up all by myself with my imagination. So there was a certain amount of having to fight it.

...and we'll focus on freebies until this issue is over for you

 

[Linda B]

Thanks hon. I'm not worried for me, just him.

These are cute for Holke Holke clothing - additional textures - Poser - ShareCG

I'll be praying for him, and you...not meaning to be offensive. Folks have a way of fleeing like roaches from the flip of a light switch when God is mentioned these days, but seriously, I clung to my faith during what seemed like an impossible situation. It supplied the peace that I needed for my mind as I spent time recalling times past when difficult situations worked out. And the rest was just the discipline to not wander in my thoughts, and dwell on potential negative outcomes. So much is determined by our thoughts and words. I got so I wouldn't give myself the time for wandering thoughts...so that's where watching comedies helped settle the issue, and disarm worry. I consider you a cherished friend, so yes, I'll call out to my Best Friend in prayer for your situation....physical, mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual

 

[Linda B]

I would never be offended

 

[skylab]

Oh good...whew....always a bit of a risk bringing it up, but it's like trying to put out a fire in a burning building without water. Maybe I'll send you a Hivewire forum PM so that I can give you my email address, in case you need it. If I can get one sent to you, you'll see a red alert for it on the main forum page. Let's see if it works

 

[Linda B]

It did and I replied.

Gah! Trying to make Doc look like Mick Jager and it's not working!

 

[skylab]

Oh...haha...that would be a fun character too...those out of control lips everywhere...haha. Sometimes you have to fiddle with the dials a lot...like I was telling Janet, to get Doc's ears to not stick out, you have to adjust something called "ear sail"....I thought, what's an ear sail? So sometimes you have to just try it

Will be back on shortly, moving back to my workstation now

 

[skylab]

I'm back ...and replied to PM and email

 

[Linda B]

Gave up on Mick since it looked more like Mr. Bean.

 

[skylab]

I'm sending you some pics by email that might help

 

[Linda B]

thanks!

 

[skylab]

Just sent you the pics

 

[skylab]

I always try to find 3D model pics of the character I'm working on, if possible, especially if it's a caricature...helps to see the most prominent features.

 

[Linda B]

Not sure if this looks more like Mr. Bean or George Stephanopoulos. haha

 

[Linda B]

Wow, that z-brush model is spot on!

 

[skylab]

Yeah, they are really good, aren't they. I'm using the one where the guy is painting his face, trying to see what I can do with it. Here's progress so far...just got started.

 

[Linda B]

ooh good so far. I'm doing the caricature one.

 

[skylab]

Good...they're more fun

Those shaders are nice. Wishlisted until the rest of med bills come in. Hubby had bladder cancer and now they found a mass in his colon today. More surgery for poor guy. Can't catch a break.

I hope all goes smoothly for you guys and he recovers fully.
